BitTorrent Sync Review

Peer-to-peer downloads are usually labelled as being the key source of software and media piracy, but is it really all that bad?

BitTorrent Sync is a peer-to-peer medium for downloading and uploading files. It functions very much like BitTorrent, except instead of .torrent files, the app gives you a unique link and permissions which you can set, so your files are always secure.
It is also extremely easy to use, as syncing folders is as simple as scanning a QR code, or pushing the unique URL to the device of your choice (mainly, your Android smartphone/tablet). Since it’s peer-to-peer too, your files do not go through any external server or computer, which means your files go straight to your device without any delay.
